Emmanuel Anglican College offers After College Hours Care (ACHC) and Vacation Care (VC) programs. Our Educators offer a warm, caring and safe environment with an interest-based program that actively supports your child in their learning and development. The programs are guided by the My Time, Our Place – Framework for School Age Care in Australia and is based on the seven areas identified under the National Quality Framework as priorities across the development, implementation and review stages:

  • Educational program and practice,
  • Children’s health and safety,
  • Physical environment,
  • Staffing arrangements,
  • Relationships with children,
  • Collaborative partnerships with families and communities, and
  • Governance and Leadership.

Our programs incorporate fun play, leisure and learning activities and children are able to engage in a variety of supervised and structured learning and recreational activities each session. Children will have the opportunity to rotate through activities in accordance with their individual preferences, social interactions and support needs. Activities are optional and children can choose to engage in what they are interested in. It may be purely recreational and play based activities but may also include:

  • Homework support,
  • Physical activities to develop fitness and coordination,
  • Creative art projects,
  • Music and drama experiences,
  • Activities based on the development of social skills including board games, and
